Sobornost

Sobornost was a term coined by the Slavophile political movement in 19th century Russia that involved the cooperation of the people at the expense of individualism. Aleksey Khomyakov, one of the founders of the movement, believed that the "thesis, antithesis, synthesis" dialectic triad of Johann Gottlieb Fichte (erroneously attributed to Hegel) exemplified opposing ideas working together, the core belief of sobornost and, as Khomyakov believed, the Russian Orthodox church.
